30-60! Ronald Acuña Jr. makes history with unprecedented home run, stolen base milestone

USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale breaks down the ramifications of Shohei Ohtani's UCL tear and how it affects him physically and financially.

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. made history Thursday night, with more than a month of the season to spare.

Acuña hit his 30th home run of the season, a grand slam off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Lance Lynn, and became the first player in Major League Baseball history with 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a single season.

That shot, paired with his 61 stolen bases, separates him from Barry Bonds and Eric Davis, the only players to hit 30 homers and steal at least 50 in one year.
